The LCX16244 contains sixteen non-inverting buffers with TRI-STATE outputs designed to be employed as a memory and address driver, clock driver, or bus oriented transmitter/ receiver. The device is nibble controlled. Each nibble has separate TRI-STATE control inputs which can be shorted together for full 16-bit operation. The LCX16244 is designed for low voltage (3.3V) VCC applications with capability of interfacing to a 5V signal environment. The LCX16244 is fabricated with an advanced CMOS technology to achieve high speed operation while maintaining CMOS low power dissipation.
